Police on Tuesday night were looking for Aubrey F. Toney, 29, of Youngstown, in the murder.

Repchic and his wife, Jacqueline A., 74, were driving near the intersection of Philadelphia Avenue and Southern Boulevard after leaving St. Dominic Church when someone fired six to 12 shots at the couple’s Cadillac. Jacqueline Repchic was wounded in her leg, since amputated.

Police Chief Jimmy Hughes said the murder was “clearly a case of mistaken identity.”

The individuals involved had a dispute — maybe a turf war or drug-related — and were looking for the driver of a 1990 Cadillac, the same type of vehicle as the Repchics’, Hughes said. He added that police have identified a suspect with a vehicle similar to the Repchics’.

Mayor Jay Williams said he wanted members of St. Dominic Church,

77 E. Lucius Ave., to “rest assured” that they were not being targeted.

Two pit-bull dogs, weapons and loads of ammunition were confiscated from the Garfield Street house.

The arrest came only a day after police located the 1999 maroon Dodge Durango used in the drive-by shooting. The owner of that vehicle is not a suspect in the killing, Hughes said.

Foley commended the Youngstown investigative team and said that many useful tips came in from the Crime Stoppers phone line.

On Sunday, Williams issued a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the city’s 19th homicide.

“We don’t know how much information we got in was related to the reward, but at the end of the day, there is one individual in custody and we’re seeking information on any others,” Williams said. “For those who did provide information, we’re certainly exceptionally grateful.”

Hughes said police are working to curb gang violence.

“We made other arrests today,” he said. “... We have stepped up enforcement.”

An attempted burglary at the Repchics’ Trenton Avenue home Saturday, the same day of the shooting, is unrelated to the murder investigation and appears to be an opportunistic crime, Hughes said.

“In the most unfortunate of situations, it is fortunate that we have men and women of the Youngstown Police Department who will act swiftly and decisively,” Williams said. “We want to send a message that this will not stand in this community. It will not be tolerated.”

Calling hours for Thomas Repchic are from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday at Vaschak-Kirila Funeral Home, 3100 Canfield Road in Youngstown. The funeral Mass is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday in St. Dominic Church.

Comments

So these pieces of crap, and that is what they are, CRAP, are so stupid they can't tell the difference between two elderly white people and their gang bangin' thug rivals? (And that's not a racial issue, that is commenting on their stupidity)

Too bad Agee didn't die when he got shot in the drive-by in 2001. The world would be a much better place w/o him.

Let's hope he takes a dirt nap soon. Same for those pieces of crap who killed the real estate agent.

Won't be long before one of Agee's garbage friends or relatives is on tv wailing about how "He a good boy. " or some other such similar nonsense.

How can anyone feel safe in Youngstown Mr. Mayor? Mistaken identity or not, these victims did not deserve to be shot and the man killed. When are you gonna do something about these black gangstas with guns dealing drugs? When are you goinna ask Stricknine and Odumba for help to police your streets and cleanup the gangstas since it's obvious the YPD can't do the job by themselves? How can anyone at the church ever feel safe?

Looks like the answer is one giant search warrant for ALL the houses in Youngstown. Its amazing at what authorities do pull out of these houses WHEN arrests are made -- fighting pit bulls, weapons, ammunition, drugs, cash (and the house is usually Section 8, which means the family is getting its rent paid by the taxpayers).

To simply say 'Boys and girls we are lucky, the cause was mistaken identity' doesn't cut it.

The real tragedy is the murder. The bigger tragedy is that this happened at 1:00pm in the afternoon and no one is really safe driving in our city.

Mistaken identity???? Really??? How do you mistaken some ghetto trash from an older white couple?? Seriously!!! It's not like they had tinted windows, music booming, or that it was night time! There is no excuse!! Why don't we mistakenly take them out instead of wasting more of taxpayers money? Oops, a mistake!!!

We definitely need more patrol cars for the south side, were the majority of murders in Youngstown occurs. I know of two active drug houses on the south side that residents report to the police all the time, but nothing happens. What good does it do to call the police when nothing happens? How do we get these undesirables out of our neighborhoods?

"I am GLAD to see people here finally saying things the way they are instead of sugar coat denying the issues in this town."

There is no denying the issue and it's black on black violence that is destroying this city. Of the 19 homicides how many were black on black, gangs, drugs, etc.? Those two pictures above are 2 useless peices of filthy trash that you would love to take behind a building and put them down slowly and painfully. "Mistaken Identity" what a pitiful excuse. And dude makes over $250,000, maybe he can afford the dream team, minus one lawyer.

And our useless mayor once again:

<<"Mayor Jay Williams said he wanted members of St. Dominic Church, 77 E. Lucius Ave., to “rest assured” that they were not being targeted.">>

Didn't the fool say this after Angelinas murder?

<<“We don’t know how much information we got in was related to the reward, but at the end of the day, there is one individual in custody and we’re seeking information on any others,” Williams said. “For those who did provide information, we’re certainly exceptionally grateful.”>>

ALL of the information was a result of the reward. When it comes to $$$ signs, even mommy and grandma will rat out the wanna be thugs. But that is a good thing if thats what it takes.

Our useless police chief:

<<"“We made other arrests today,” he said. “... We have stepped up enforcement.”>>

And what about tomorrow and the next day, week, month? Until another senseless murder takes place, it'll be the same Ole same Ole??

<<“We want to send a message that this will not stand in this community. It will not be tolerated.”>>

Useless mayor said the same thing after Angelinas murder. Real tough words mayor. Reading from a prewritten speech?? Grow a pair already!

"Mayor Jay Williams said he wanted members of St. Dominic Church,77 E. Lucius Ave., to “rest assured” that they were not being targeted"

I will bet that will make everyone feel much better knowing that these poor people were not singled out for this type of violence. It sure gives me the warm fuzzy feeling knowing that this was just a random event that WE ALL could have been subject to.

Great point Mr. Mayor, you damn fool.

Please for the love of God get rid of Jimmy( number 187 on the civil service list ) Hughes, he is an embarrassment to the City of Youngstown. Affirmative action at work!

MISTAKEN ID? Are you kidding me? How high do these "brothers" get, or just how stupid , to shoot a car because of it's color? That is color bias. Too bad the poor guy's caddy wasn't white or he would still be alive.These Detroit decendant's -- current drug and gang criminals -- are like Al Quida. Take one out, two come in. They have NO FEAR, no brains, and no future. Let's get the Italians and Irish , who turned back the KKK -- THE gang of the day -- in Niles in 1920 to take back this valley. Cops have to play by rules, federal or otherwiae, and justice and prevention are too late now. Drastic , surgical measure need to be taken by the citizens. These "brothers" MUST FEAR,something, and they don't! The "education", sorry to say, is off the table, too late, and will never work. I bet (*and would donate) that if law enforcement let the "boys" take care of this, within a year, these pukes would be gone or going -- a small price to pay.

I thank God I don't live in Youngstown. I didn't like it 50 years ago and I still don't like it! I feel bad for the decent citizens that are trapped by their own economical situations and have to stay in that sewer! But the sewer is moving into other areas that once were considered 'decent' and 'fairly safe'. They are like a cancer that just keeps invading other parts of the body, intent on destroying.I will bet that you will find so many of these gang members are from single parent homes, parents that have never cared for education, rules and regulations or bettering themselves. They are most likely welfare recipients, born of welfare recipients who think the rest of society owes them just because of the rotten luck of being born poor and maybe being born black, blaming others because they didn't have the guts to get a good education...one that was readily available...and get a job and become a part of that society they felt was their downfall. These are people who want the easy way out and think society owes them!!!The drug issue is a big problem...easy mony for someone too lazy to get a decent job that pays not enough. The drugs alter a person's mind, their ability to make right decisions; it kills their conscience, if they had one in the beginning. There needs to be a bigger push to alleviate the drug situation all over this entire nation.I truly feel there are so many problems in this country that are related. Too many illegals taking jobs that should be taken for our own citizens. Too many people on welfare/SSI/Disability that could take these jobs...provided any of them had any pride and was willing to take these jobs just so they could become productive citizens. We have lost good jobs in this country and who do we thank for that mess? We have lost so much family structure, some due to laziness and the world-owes-me-a-living attitude. But on the other end are the people who want so much; Dad and Mom both working, having kids and letting someone else raise them. Family values are going down the old shute, sucking the life out of our country.As I said, thank God I live where crime is not bad, but I fear that Youngstown is moving out farther and farther and will eventually be in my back yard. I don't have the answers but surely there are some people who do. And it isn't going to be just ONE solution; there are many issues that have brought this country down and it isn't just in Youngstown. We all need to humble ourselves and pray for these issues, for the positive rejuvenation of our great country. We need to move back to God.

Who would have ever thought that people would long for the day when the mafia ruled and the only ones that had to fear for their lives were the wise guys. Of course, it was the mafia that sold all the drugs to the "coloreds" and destroyed their families. As they said in the meeting of the five families in The Godfather:

"I don't want it near schools - I don't want it sold to children! That's an infamia. In my city, we would keep the traffic in the dark people - the colored. They're animals anyway, so let them lose their souls."

But, rest assured St Dominic's parishioners, you are not being targeted! That is unless you drive a Cadillac like one of the gangbangers or have two nickels in your pocket. Don't worry Mayor "Mars Attack" Williams Jimmy "Clueless" Hughes are protecting you!

Life in prison is simply a waste of time and money. These jackasses are not slightly phased by the promise of a 5x10 cell...they most likely are looking forward to spending FREE time in prison 'cause it makes them appear "harder" and they will enjoy countless hours of gabbing with the other "gang-banger" inmates about guns... and drugs... and fighting dogs. Simply propagating their already infused, savage beast attitudes.

How many young black man in the age bracket of 18-30 that you see working (a honest, law abiding job)?? I would love to see the percentage of that. I would venture to guess 1-5% and thats being nice.

No, they rather run there little gangs, sell there drugs, kill INNOCENT people, have numerous babies by numerous women, cruise up and down in there pimp mobiles, cranking there rap music and think the world OWES them. It's really about time Y-town takes a stand and get rid of the scum that is making it tough for the hard working people or college students trying to better themselves to make a decent living raising a family and living a normal life in a normal city. We need leadership on all areas that have the guts to stand against these worthless, useless, filthy cockroaches and quit catering to them.

The thing is this Agee looks half blind........he had to have been the shooter.....2 whites w/ a handicap sticker mistaken as a banger........its almost like the Repchics cant win..they get shot cause of their car, their neighborhood is terrible, their son was murdered and to top it all off their house was robbed the day of the shooting!!!..........God has a special place for them and as for the bangers that did this, have fun in Lucasville..........

If I recall- an Agee boy was killed a couple yrs ago, he was from the southside and resembled the Agee in the photo (brothers?) Does anyone here recall that incident? BTW- what is the deal with his right eye? Is it artificial?

thats f..d up!.........3 million to 15k?.......its time we get some real judges and better prosecutors........like i said before , we the people need to arm ourselves , take these scum out and the police are just going to have to look the other way.....thats whats holding law abiding citizens back.." if i shoot someone, I'M the one thats going to jail".........that mentallity is what keeps people from taking their neighborhoods back........if we had police cooperation and they just took the report and threw it in a file , the city would be alot cleaner and these eggplants would think twice before they looked sideways.........

its just like the murders , suicide in east liverpool...........white girl with a black gang member from liberty........he goes down there shoots the white girls black friend, shoots the white girl then kills himself.......race mixing never works......like the one guy said on here, a white girl from poland or canfield will bail em out..............hahah thats funny and true at the same time...........

i like the national guard idea............we need to start a push for the mayor to make that call and we need the news media to push it with us......get a day, fill up in front of the mayors office and demand it.....can you imagine humvees patroling these neighborhoods?.........choppers in the air w/ spot lights?..........theyre allowed to do a house to house without warrant.........civil law is gone when they show up.........thats the answer..........

this was a very tragic murder that shouldnt have happened . but so is the tragic murder of the black realtor by the three white guys.but what i found disturbing or maybe disappointing is all the racial comments about the killing of mr repchic but amazingly nothing on the other murder .is one worse than the other ? i hope not but it sounds like public opinion makes it that way.all these posts say that this is how and why they left ytown because of the violence and i dont have a problem with that because im black and i live with my wife and four kids in liberty .but because im black should i classify all white people in the same vein as those three white guys ,that look like white supremasists and sterotype every white person as white trash that i meet.no because thats not fair to the great white friends that ive made through the years .we need to figure out the root cause of why all these pieces of garbage do what tthey do. oh and by the way my brother was killed in 1988 by a white man the guy got only 2 years in jail because crooked philomena was the prosecuting attorney and didnt do his job.but even with all that i dont criminalize or hate every white person on earth. hell, my one daughters god father is white! i cant avoid or hate or slander every white person because i was wronged by 3 white individuals .theres good people and bad people in all races but it wont stop me from loving my white friends just as much as my black friends.rest in peace mr repcic and mrs martin

this was a very tragic murder that shouldnt have happened . but so is the tragic murder of the black realtor by the three white guys.but what i found disturbing or maybe disappointing is all the racial comments about the killing of mr repchic but amazingly nothing on the other murder .is one worse than the other ?"

HEY IDIOT! I MENTIONED THAT IN THE VERY FIRST POST HERE. SO YOU CAN STOP YOUR RACE BAITING RIGHT NOW!

My prayers go out to both the Repchic and Martin families.Both events were very unfortunate and saddened me that people would be willing to kill two people and injure one innocent person. I keep asking myself... Is life that bad that you are willing to give up your life and spend the rest of it either dead or in prison. What did any of these men really gain from their actions?

I would also like to pray for most of you that commented on this post. So many of you are quick to call these men scum and other names, but it's funny that I didn't notice this many posts on Vivian Martin's page when the criminals were of another color. Just a thought... The woman was strangled, robbed, and burned to death! Think about it...

mach 70 im the race baiter but youre the one calling someone you dont know an idiot .thats real nice that when someone else has a different opinion an "idiot" will resort to name calling at the drop of a hat . we're both men here not little kids ,save the name calling for the punks we were having an educated discussion about. I THINK ITS A LOW BLOW TO NAME CALL BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT A 1970 MACH1 IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR!

Someone needs to go to 537 Garfield St. and burn it to the ground. Hopefully some of his family will still be inside. This piece of puke should have everything he owns destroyed. If he owns anything that is. Then we need to hang him in the ruins of his "crib".

It should be that as soon as we know who did the murders the scum bag murderer gets to be hung in public! PERIOD! This afternoon would be a great time to hang Agee. I'll bring the KFC.

CENSOREDSHIP i get what your saying this isnt about you personally but there are posts on here that somehow blame these degenerates actions on everyone else but them.im a moderate have voted republican and democratic but some posters have said this is the liberals fault even obamas fault.does that make sense?when my brother was murdered in 88 george bush sr was in office . was it his fault HELL NO.i put the blame on the murderer no one else. lets keep our heads on straight and keep our anger directed at the right people all the deadbeat moms and dads(using that word loosely) white and black that are responsible for these crazy drugged zombies they are producing.there is more than enough things to blame politicians for we know they are pathetic on both sides of the fence, but i will not blame them for what has happened here

Death penalty, no way! Got your attention, was it premeditated murder? No, because the shooters were out to kill some other dirtbag and not Mr. Repchic so it was a accidental shooting!

Now before you rag on me, do not be surprised if some public defender uses this angle to avoid the death penalty. If he needs any help the local ACLU would be more than happy to assist in the poor disadvantaged defendant's defense.

God bless you, Goman, for your true and fair comments--race baiting is not going to help this situation. Both the men who killed Vivian Martin and the men who killed Mr. Repchic make me understand what evil is and certainly want the criminal justice system to do the right thing. by punishing them to the full extent of the law. But my question is, what are the root causes of this evil and what can be done about it? Youngstown has become a cesspool--lousy schools, not enough law enforcement personnel, parents who either have no parenting skills and do not care or are working against a mountain of evil influences in their efforts to raise good children and the evil is spreading throughout the Mahoning Valley. I know we are angry and want vengeance, but how can anyone feel anything buit anguish at this hopeless situation?

Redvert88, it was NOT an accidental shooting. In order for it to be accidental, there would not be an intent to pull the trigger. That was clearly not the case. Accidental shooting and killing the wrong person are two different things... However, both are MURDER.

how are the police suppose to do anything when the liberal azz holes in this country tie their hands. everytime you turn around there is a new law protecting these thugs!! if a drug house is known for a drug house then you should be able to kick the door in and make things happen. once again this country and its people are too soft! if you see a judge or a lawyer thank them for ruining the country. look back 50 years which when you think about it wasnt that long ago. the things you see and hear of today were unimaginable!! marshall law!!!!

Everyone has summed up basically what I want to say and I couldnt agree with ysugirl08 anymore that this was no accident...people were intended to be killed,wether it was the wrong people or not.

All Youngstown does is talk. I think we are afraid to take on real crime in this city. Pat yourselves on the back for pulling over a few people during your DWI stops. Yes this is effective but I want to see more stories about these total wastes of life being arrested and throw in jail. If I know where the crime is,and you know where the crime is,why does the YPD look the other way? Start patrolling these streets and stop driving up and down the streets of downtown looking for a random intoxicated 20-something.

I mean lets face it,crime will never stop in Yompton. Does that mean we should just sit back and watch innocent people die week after week? Arresting 2 guys is just the start and even though I commend you for it you will receive more recognition when you arrest 100's of these creatures,not just 2 at a time. Time to kick down the door to this society and let people know who is really in charge? And if not,then just let innocent people keep dieing.

ysugirl08, my post was to show the thinking of some of the lawyers in this town. It most certainly is murder by the shooter and also old "one eye." Of course "one eye" may say, "I didn't really think he was gonna shoot him, I thought he was just gonna scare him"

Notice how quickly tips came in when there was a fat reward. No honor among thieves or murderers.

There is gonna be a new set of rims and a new gold fence in someone's future.

Perhaps the key is to put all money impounded into a reward fund along with the money from auctioning confiscated goods and vehicles.

When will the Black leaders speak up? Pastor Macklin? Pastor Simon? Pastor Lee? Pastor Harrison? Pastor Pettis? Pastor Anderson? Chasing women, little boys! and dollar bills,Call one of these murderers a niggar and they will come running to their defense.

"Again, where is the black leadership? Maybe if someone starts killing their parishioners leaving church they'll speak up?"

Good point, where was the outrage on the filthy trash that brutally murdered Vivian Martin and the other homicides in the black community?? Rewards offered?? None that I could recall. The only 2 rewards were for Angeline Fimognari and Thomas Repchicchic.Did the black preachers of the community try to track down Strickland and others like the St. Doms paster did? Why not? Its seems like that is a way of life and just accept it as it is. Not right but thats what it seems like.

Not about being racist or such, soooo tired of that excuse, it's facts and if people can't see that, then there blind. Read the daily papers over the country and what majority commits the crimes? It's right there. Everyday. And before you rant and rave about racism, there are white,blue,yellow,green,purple animals/trash everywhere but not the majority. Correct me if I'm wrong.

And I'm going to post this again, whatever happened to this plan in '96??? Anyone know?

Clinton gets tough on criminals in public housing One-strike-and-you're-out order issued to fight drugs

I think we all need to take a good hard look at the people who are running the city of Youngstown,I have been overwhelmed with the violence. I worry sick about my daughter who lives in boardman ,but very close to the south side line.I am so sick of all the southside johnnys who think they own this town.My father grew up near wilson high where everybody loved there neighbors. Then people moved in from the east side and now,a few years later now its trashed . I have a sister who lives in austintown that says there moving from the southside and are now trashing austintown. hmmmmm sound familiar to any of you .Well here is a solution, I say call in the humane society who killed all those innocent cats last week from ladies cat society and do away with Yo .police and the courts. They will have every little disgusting critter that causes a crime dead in no time and maybe even if they didn't do anything , Ya see with them you don't have a chance in hell.I say go for it humane society and how about if we throw in PETA. You could clean up youngstown in a heartbeat.

Take a look at how many violent offenders are arrested per year by YPD. YPD is understaffed and has thousands of animals to deal with on a daily basis. The courts are the problem! The liberals are the problem! This judicial system is as soft as charmin!

The way I see it is it's attitudes like this which is the reason why you have elderly white people being targeted. Youngstown was a criminal town far before the mayor came on board. You better check your history. You didn't see no black people coming on here calling those white boys who killed the real estate agent racial names yet you want to associate everything with color. People had the nerve to defend them by saying they were nice boys who you could talk to in the neighborhood and they would help out when it was needed. Yea, it's true they have killed everything that looks like them now they have starting killing you people. It's not right what is going on in Ytown but until people like the cowards on here start doing something positive about it instead of getting on the internet talking a bunch of nonsense then nothing will be solved. Do you think these thugs really care what you think aboout them by calling them black hoodlums and trash? No they really don't b/c they don't even go on this site and if you called them that to their faces I guess you can about figure your outcome. Anger is one thing but action speaks volumes.

These cowards are doing the same thing that the Mob who some of you want to come back and take over your little messed up town, did some time ago. Like Walter Sebchak posted, the mob are the ones who paved the way for this type of life in Ytown in the first place. They are who these Black lowlife Trash as some of you call them, pattern and emulate. Why not call it how it is? Talk to people who lived in Ytown in the 50s and 60s when the mob was running things there, maybe they will tell you the truth of what life was like. You get stuff so twisted on this site and that is why I come on here mainly to laugh at some of the dumb stuff that some of you post because it really does sound very STUPID. Who wants criminals running their town? And to answer your question censorship, no it doesn't answer nothing for me. Get up from behind your keyboard and march your whining behind down to city hall and make your voice heard and try and clean up your messed up city that has been messed up for years and realize that it isn't the black people who corrupt Youngstown! This is really messed up and all it is doing is racially dividing Ytown which will add yet another problem to a messed up town. Good luck because Youngstown needs all the prayers that it can get right now. My prayers go out to the woman and the man who lost their lives and to the wife and families who are left behind to deal with this mess.

And another thing Censor whatever, go outside and look at some other predominant black cities not FAR from Youngstown and you will see that not all blacks behave and go around shooting and killing each other. Seems to me it's a "Youngstown thing". You hardly hear of a shooting in their town or rarely see them on the news unless it's sport related. Now why is that? Please give me a statistic and some numbers on that one.

LOL...no you tell me since you know so much. Come from behind your computer and go figure it out. If you live in Youngstown than I am sure you can figure it out without using the internet to give you statistics all of the time. Or are you so stuck behind your computer that you don't even know what and where your surroundings are?

Where my most sincere condolences goes out to Ms. Repchic and hope her a swift mental, physical, emotional and spiritual recovery from such a horrific ordeal. I also render condolences to the family and close friends of the Repchic's whom were indefensibly victimized having lost this man as family and friend.

Where as an outsider with no personal knowledge of these victims nor their attackers. As a human I lament that such a tragic act of murderous savagery should have never happened.

Where it's socially unnerving and realizing PD needs to attempt to provide some public assurance for such an unsettling act. I'll not dispute what the PD are going on or their motive is in presenting the angle that they have. But as I see it from having done a thorough review of whats available I'm not sold on that was any case of " Mistaken Identity ".

See like all others that's heard of this tragedy it drew my attention also. Thus for the sake of accuracy and public safety I objectively combed through it as meticulously and without bias as possible. Which I find that there's entirely too much there to ignore. As to discard as immaterial periphery and either jump too or buy into any conclusion that this sinister act was some mistaken identity motive of happenstance.

Although I am conclusively sold on the idea, that this was in no way any retaliation. For the murderous accosting of Ms. Martin nor the plotted armed robbery of that other Realtor and attempt on another that was white.

Whom by collective sum the equally depraved and criminally driven despot Brooks brothers and their scum caliber hunchback variety henchman pulled off either,.. BY A LAUNDRY LIST OF FACTORS THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO CORRELATION OR CONNECTION WHAT SO EVER.

Yet for clarity I'm not implying any wrong doing by the victims in lifestyle, locality or personal affairs. But there's a mountain of things presented in this specific ordeal. That I'm looking at that doesn't conclusively sell me on any mistaken Identity motive,.. NOT EVEN CLOSE !!!

You're beneath the worth of a trash nourished snake. I mean albeit tragic and emotion filled. Here there's rightfully a total and unified outrage. Of vocalizing absolute non acceptance for the despicable acts of some incredulous criminality driven subhumans murderously attacking an elderly couple.

Yet here you are disrespectfully spewing your race baiting affliction and daring to try to desecrate the couples horrid ordeal as your very own political football.

To do such a thing you're beneath pathetic and yet with like in the many other instances that you've tried to force your ilk and filth on other peoples cases. Out of respect for the family and friends of the Repchic's as well as the community I'll abstain from putting you in your place here.

But be it known that by your being up to your same old diabolically despicable self. You've now managed to have stooped to a new low.

Where to deliberately pollute the heartfelt pondering[s] and sincere condolence rendered sentiments of those mourning the deceased and surviving widow.

With your manipulative efforts to start a race war via inflammatory innuendo shows you don't mean anybody any good and neither wholesome spirit, decency, respect or sense are in noway associated with you,.. HOW DARE YOU !!!

Out of respect for the Repchic's, and the families and friends whom are directly connected feeling this loss. I apologize to them for your presence regardless to my having no like, association with nor anything else to do with you.

By your being so callously disrespectful by willfully attempting such a thing. Solidifies that you're no better than those other damn demons whom physically attacked this couple,.. and neither race nor gender changes nor separates that.

Damn i have had blogs taken down for a lot less then some of these on this page. Calling people niggas, ni&&er, nigga, cracker, cracka, peckerwood etc etc etc is not solving the problem people so be more intelligent and try to solve issues instead of name calling. Not all blacks are thugs not all whites are perfect.

Now LeJudas is claiming that race is the reason for all the criticism that he is receiving. No it isnt you dumbass its because you left a city that adored you, you quit on the team you were to lead, you chose the easy way out by joining a super team, and because you havent won a damn thing and you chose to have an hour long "deception". Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, and Scottie Pippen are racist toward you? No they know you are a fraud, not a leader, and a pusscake who wants to be a follower while having the talent to be a leader. But you are now just another part of the inner city proble. A man who quits during adversity, looking for the easy way out, a man who doesnt want his kids around while you are living it up, and a man wo wants to blame everyone but yurself for the criticism you receive.

It's tha culcha ! Their train doesn't run on their momma's or daddy's track .They have paved the way for others to follow . Doing their thing and not be forced is their freedom at last . Drugs get them the cash without the toil and with the cash respect by their peers is what follows . Yep, it's tha culcha !

@censored...i really could care less what you call me b/c i know nothing of your trashy ass and would not associate with the likes of you if i did. it just goes to show you that your some bitter old fart or weird rejected middle ager who again, sits behind your computer and talk trash like the trash i bet you are. nobody in the real society would pay you any attention if they knew who you really were. you don't offend me b/c i don't have any respect for you and have come to the realizition that you are an idiot who has been on this site letting a total stranger like myself make your blood pressure go up and foam at the mouth. what i do know about you is you aren't as rough and tough like you wish you could be on this computer. you are angry b/c white women have black babies, black people are doing better than they were previously than what they used to (pull up your stats), and as ignorant as you may sound, the majority of white people don't think like you and would be the first to tell you to shut your stupid mouth. Go TO BED AND GIVE YOUR HAND A BREAK TO USE IT FOR WHAT WE REALLY KNOW YOU HAVE TO USE IT FOR.

When will the Black leaders speak up? Pastor Macklin? Pastor Simon? Pastor Lee? Pastor Harrison? Pastor Pettis? Pastor Anderson? Chasing women, little boys! and dollar bills,Call one of these murderers a niggar and they will come running to their defense.

**I copied and pasted this from an earlier post.. This is funny. Pastor Simon is very busy going to the Commissioners Meetings trying to "convince" them to hire his own!!! He's spends many hours at those meetings concerned about the Director of JFS!!! No time for these petty issues... lol!

I just checked the Youngstownhappenings website and the commissioners meeting is not posted yet. Check it out this weekend...., Pastor Simon was there yesterday in the midst of all of this nonsense worrying about who will be the new JFS Director!!!!!

""Show me one proud working class black town or even a neighborhood without these issues."

Actually I'll like to see that to if a place actually does exist. Interesting.

"These cowards are doing the same thing that the Mob who some of you want to come back and take over your little messed up town, did some time ago."

Thats the problem, they want to act like the gangstas of yesteryear. This isn't the 50 or 60's, this is 2010. The 18-30 years old think there living a gangsters life instead of working a decent, law abiding job. Do you know how much money there making? A lot more then me or you would ever make. If thats the lifestyle they want to portray then so be it, but leave the INNOCENT victims alone. Kill your rival gangs, own kind, not law abiding, (esp senior citizens on holy ground) that are trying to make a decent living.

And what exactly is "not black enough for the city’s African-American community" mean?? And "He is “not a black mayor,” Street told the newspaper. “He’s just a mayor with dark skin.” Just curious.

Censored stayed awake all night to prove things to me and the fact of the matter still remains that I still am not impressed but good Boy anyway. Why are you so obsessed with race? Did someone of color do something to you in your life that cause you to be such a racist? Why do you think others find it so interesting to hear what you think that you need to stay on this site all day and night? Contrary to what you believe and think the world goes on. These are the types of things that we let the weirdos like yourself sit around worry about. The rest of the world have things to do like go to a job and make some money to keep paying idiots like yourself to collect a government check and peruse the computer all day.I am sure you will be posting a statistice....let's see it. I will be checking it on my lunchbreak to see how predictable you really are FOOL.

As a precursor I'll ask for forgiveness and understanding from the Repchic's and their family and close friends for my interjection. As to re-address some abominable individuals here for their careless content, context, character and conjecture.

See where I'm less unsettled to see it's not many partaking in racial and political idiocy here. However, those whom are makes it unquestionably apparent that comprise those who's doing it. Are oblivious to how heartless they're displaying themselves as having no respect for these victims or even what happened.

You make it evident that you're too dysfunctionally simple, vile, warped and morbid to recognize the truth that people are people as individuals. Just like not all whites embrace the Brooks brothers or Cooper it's damn well known that equally not all blacks in anyway condone or embrace what Agee, Toney or Houser has done.

See those individuals has accosted and victimized those of all races. They don't target victims based on race they target people via opportunity. For which you appalling individuals partaking in racial barbs to skew that are merely accomplices for the manners of how they criminally exploit a groundwork that YOU provide them cover and concealment,.. you're to be DAMNED for that.

Where in contrast a unified community of unconditional opposition. Those that does things like what was done stand no damn chance and ALL would be better and safer for it,.. and THAT'S not opinion.

See the comforting fact is no matter what race those individuals are they'd get { and have } gotten turned in. Not only by people of good heart, wholesome spirit and honest character. But those whom turned them in were and are of all races. See the FACTS prove that and it's without dispute,.. we're just THAT DIFFERENT than those of you.

There's no Black, White, Hispanic, Greek, Asian, Jewish, Islamic or catholic " Leaders " needed to assume accountability for someone or anyone's actions via bearing a surface affiliation or similarity. So any of those guys being mentioned as " Black leaders " merely operate out of their own churches,.. THAT'S IT !!!

Where not to slander or degrade them or that catholic clergy guy. But nobody has to go to their churches and no matter if we do or don't we as people are individuals and we are all required and charged with taking responsibility for ourselves,.. AS INDIVIDUALS.

Now those of you whom are parading yourselves as " Solution-ists " and or " Assets " and or defending " Saviors " get to that. Then if you can you should be embarrassed at and by your current or previous states of being as being no good to anybody,.. and intolerably disrespectful to the recently victimized that the rest of us are outraged by.

Be it known we genuinely care and also deem it irrelevant what race, age, faith, gender or economic class the victims or their assailants are either. So now check your own worth, value, stock and cost in comparison,.. and your opting to be WORTHLESS and USELESS isn't appreciated.

Well said Nunya....it just distubs me that some people would blame a race of people for a person's actions. Not evry black person in Youngstown got together and voted that these idiots go out and violent the elderly couple nor I believe that a group of whites did that toward the lady realtor. I am sure both of these victims had friends of different races who miss them and are equally as angry as their own races are. You have some people who turn evrything into a race and Obama issue. Youngstown is a very ran down and poor oppressed community and the only thing that it really has going for it presently is YSU which is doing very well. High crime is very prevalent in these type of areas because there aren't any decent paying jobs, properties are abandoned, respect for life and others are lost, and the moral support is very little. Once economic development pick up and decent people decide to revive Youngstown then maybe things will improve for the city. Youngstown has a lot of law abiding, working class, professional, Godfearing, and respectable people who I personally know. Also, it's not up to the clergy to come out and save every black female and male who gets into trouble when they don't know anything about the person. Some of these people never stepped foot into a church in their entire life and it shows.

Well while they are doing the mass abortion they should include you in as well or maybe one of the good thugs will pop a cap in you as also. Either way I am sure your presence on here would be sadly missed.

@Censored...it's okay for you to say that black people should have been aborted and me not to say the Good Thugs should pump a bullet in you? If they pump a bullet in you I would not feel bad b/c you are a prejudice rat and you would make an excellent target. As for you putting words in to my thoughts to make yourself sound like what you post sound legitimate, good strategy. I don't feel like these guys who did the shooting or involved in this crime are at any level good. I think they are scum of the earth and should be excecuted in the same manner in how they did their victims and they should also include you in the process because it is people like yourself that have no good intentions on this earth either. All you do is spread hate and post rather stupid thoughts to support your synnical brain that you have living in your defacated skull. The world is a better place without people like you living in it and if it takes these Hoodlums to do it than so be it.

The race-card is used oh so often, and more times than not, is the prevailing factor behind most of these comments. I read one sided comments all the time not being backed up, day in and day out. When will some of you open your mind and try to see things from both perspectives.

After reading the last few comments, I'll be the first to admit censoredship is the only one backing up his statements with real facts that can be assessed and come to the same conclusion that he presented. Take a good hard look at his comments. Their the TRUTH!

As for these thugs who think they run the city, your days are numbered. People like Ohdrama who think they can tote guns and make threats are gonna be persecuted not by the judge, but by the good citizens of our town - the ones who truly care about what's going on. We won't be putting up with this much longer, and neither will mainstream society.

You see it happening nationwide, this growing buzz about good citizens standing their ground and taking on those wannabe gangsters, illegal aliens, felons, and/or downright dirty low-lifes. Youngstown will soon follow suit, and the cops will be turning a blind eye to social justice. True vigilante's taking back OUR streets - one thug, gangster, 5051 boy, crime riddled punk at a time.

Censored...you brought abortion into this post just incase you forgot. I was wondering what you were talking about when you went there but I always get lost when it comes to you. Since you despise blacks so much why do you care about black women aborting their pregnancies? Sounds to me like this would make you happy or am I confused about that too? First you say black people are animals and tearing up the neighborhoods and now you are rallying against them being aborted. I know that those are not your exact words but let's just face it...you have a problem with everything black.

@Valleys Voice don't put words into my post either. I see the problem with Ohioans, you don't comprehend well. I DO NOT SUPPORT HOODLUMS CARRYING GUNS AT ALL NOR DO I SUPPORT VIOLENCE, JUST TO CENSORED. I am done with this subject because some of you take something out of a post and make it to what you want it to sound like. God pray for Ohio and the people in it and I will be leaving it at that.

The pieces of WHITE TRASH that killed the black realtor are evil sons-a-bitches that not only deserve a quick sentence of death the have also earned the names placed on them by non-criminals of any race.With that said, why is it different for these BLACK THUGS? Is there something wrong with using derogatory terms when describing criminals? Or, is it only a ruse perpetrated by the black community to focus the attention not on the crime or the fact that the criminals were black, and use the words to garner some type of sympathy from the world towards black underachievers?

LIFE there have been racial comments in this and other blogs and they dont solve the issue.CENSORED the comment you made about you dont care to their community referring to the black comuunity is a mistake. These problems affect all communities and if you dont want to help better the black community then we will not see the community as a whole improve. Afterall we are only as strong as our weakest link and sadly the black community is the weak link for the most part. The problem is that the community doesn want to fix itself because it feels its a good place to live. There is no accountability and unfortunately there are no MLKs and MALCOLMS to lead the community. There are only leaders who claim constant racism and not accountability by the young blacks in the community.

nunya"So any of those guys being mentioned as " Black leaders " merely operate out of their own churches,.. THAT'S IT !!!"

"Also, it's not up to the clergy to come out and save every black female and male who gets into trouble when they don't know anything about the person. Some of these people never stepped foot into a church in their entire life and it shows."

These are only a quick search, I'm sure I could come up with pages and pages and pages of these.....

Your selective representation of partial quote parsing is as appalling as you are gutless and godlessly worthless.

See in the same statement where you selectively lifted partial quote in post # 108. Somehow you alleged to have missed the context that read:

" Where not to slander or degrade them or that catholic clergy guy. But nobody has to go to their churches and no matter if we do or don't we as people are individuals and we are all required and charged with taking responsibility for ourselves,.. AS INDIVIDUALS. "

Which is a factual non redacted reality of self responsibility in that same statement. That you alleged blind eye to just because it didn't fit your noxious narrative and angled attempt of dis-accreditation,.. you deplorable demon.

You People HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME? How is any of this talk helping? Going to burn down houses blaming blacks blaming whites? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!! We are all victims of this because regardless of what you say CRIME IS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! I feel terrible for the victims and there families....and that is what we need to focus on. i also feel bad for the families of the accused...because regardless of what you THINK you know....YOU KNOW NOTHING about their upbringing! Of their parents who may have not been on welfare but worked hard to make a life for their children who got in with the wrong crowd and did something unforgivable....What you all need to do is pray for peace and a REAL solution to stop the crime...and get over your petty issues with race because weather you know it or not that is just giving people more reason to commit violent crimes!

"" Where not to slander or degrade them or that catholic clergy guy. But nobody has to go to their churches and no matter if we do or don't we as people are individuals and we are all required and charged with taking responsibility for ourselves,.. AS INDIVIDUALS. ""

Not saying hold the black leaders accountable for anyones actions, but obviously the young men are not taking the responsibility of there own actions (excuses-no jobs,poverty,no father,no father figure and on and on...) So how come some responsible person overcomes these obstacales but the majority resort to murder,drugs,violence,crime, etc.So if they don't take responsibility for themselves who does??? Look at the crimes committed on a daily basis, they get a slap on the wrist, and go right back out doing it again and again, prison is just like a revolving door, your somebody if you have more then one number. It's got to stop but it won't unless they get it through there thick skulls people are dying for NO REASON and the so called black leaders don't do nothing about it. But they get going over the stupid issues but not the violence. And why is that?

THE CRAZY THING IS THIS IS A MESSED UP SUBJECT DONT GET ME WRONG.BUT WHEN A RANDOM BLACK PERSON GETS KILLED I DONT SEE ALL OF YOUR COMMNTS LIKE THIS.YALL ARE SAYING IGNORANT THINGS ABOUT THERE FAMILY AND YOU DONT EVEN KNOW THERE FAMILY.HOW MANY OF YALL COMMENTED ON THE TWO WHITE BOYS THAT KILLED THE BLACK REAL ESTATE LADY.DONT MAKE IT LIKE BLACK PEOPL ARE TEARING THIS CITY DOWN WHEN THE COPS ARE THE ONES THAT SUPPLY THE GUNS.OR THE FACT THAT WONT NO JOBS HIRE FELONS AND HOW THAT LOOK. EVEN MCDONALDS DONT HIRE FELONS NOW EVERYONE DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE.TRAFICANT GOT ONE MAYBE 30 WHY CANT A FELON WHO MAYBE WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER GOT CAUGHT WITH DRUGS GET ONE.THESE COUNCIL PEOPLE MONEY LAUNDER GET 5 YEARS PROBATION AND GO ON WITH THERE LIVES WHERE AS A PERSON GET CAUGHT WITH DRUGS AND GO TO PRISON. AND LETS NOT GET ON THE DRUG ISSUE CAUSE I CAN GO THERE TO.

"BUT WHEN A RANDOM BLACK PERSON GETS KILLED I DONT SEE ALL OF YOUR COMMNTS LIKE THIS."

Not sure what your talking about. Are you reading the comments after any INNOCENT person gets murdered regardless of color??

"DONT MAKE IT LIKE BLACK PEOPL ARE TEARING THIS CITY DOWN WHEN THE COPS ARE THE ONES THAT SUPPLY THE GUNS."

Here we go with the excuses now. Accountability you know the word, not excuses.

"OR THE FACT THAT WONT NO JOBS HIRE FELONS AND HOW THAT LOOK."

Excuses again huh? I use to make over $40,000 a year, had it made, got in trouble, spent 15 months in prison just recently, have a felony 4 on my record, and you know what? I'm WORKING, its not much, I never would have thought I would lower myself to this level,but I go to work each and every day, I got promoted just 6 months on the job, and I'm making a living honestly. And I have a smile on my face each morning I wake up. So don't give me that EXCUSE theres nothing out there, you have to WANT TO WORK, not make excuses.

"AND LETS NOT GET ON THE DRUG ISSUE CAUSE I CAN GO THERE TO."

Another excuse, I welcome you to go there.

Once again, EXCUSES! It just don't hold much now. People need to quit blaming everyone and everything and look in the mirror.

OMG, Youngstown has been the pits for years, Now all of a sudden its Jay Williams fault and the state of the US is Obama's fault? Wow it couldn't have been any of the "white" politicans that created the mess and left it for the "black" politicans to clean up , could it? Oh by the way, I'm "white". Get a grip or get a job. How can you sit around all day and criticize people and look at you, you dummies.

All must understand people of all races are up in arms about the crime and discord in Youngstown. Readers may not be aware but I've been told by several people who work in public housing 85 to 90 percent of section 8 housing is located on Youngstown's Southside. The administration of these programs live in the suburbs and are not monitoring the people they give housing too on our tax dollars. There was an article in the Vindicator several weeks ago the Mayor and the director of public housing and section 8 made an agreement not to allow section 8 homes to be inspected by the city's landlord inspection program why is that I ask because those are the homes which should be inspected first to remove the scum and trash who live there. The Mayor agreed not to inspect these dwellings and the majority of the southside is section 8 we as tax paying citizens should be up in arms about this. The public housing administrator whose name is Scott I believe is not from this area so what is his investment or concern and the mayor and anyone else who agreed to this proposal should be angry about this. Again we allow those who have no ambition or drive to rule the rest of us. Also, when these type of crimes occur we should know the history of the family and especially the mother that is where the fault lies, these ignorant people should kill the people who brought them into the world and forgot about them, abandoned them, never wanted them or just didn't love them enough, the world should not have to pay. I am tired of giving away my/our tax dollars to anyone who never wanted anything better for themselves or their families. There are good people on the Southside homeowners who have always had pride in theirselves and their homes they are victims too to the plight and destruction of section 8 housing in our neighborhoods. Mayor Williams and Mr. Scott should be made to live in the heart of the Southide or they alone should be made to make some section 8 inspections on the structures they failed to allow to be inspected on the southside (something smells fishy to me)

There are about 15 of us who live in Florida that were long time members of St. Dominics Church. In fact, when I was a kid we would stop at Philadelphia and Cottage Grove and hop the train right by the Church and take it to the Southern Park Mall.

That was a CRIME back then (1970's and 80's) in our neighborhood.

I wonder if the train still runs? If so, are the gangs robbing it too??

From what i have heard from the police dept., unofficially of course, is that she was targeted b/c she was a witness in the Houser case. They waited outside the church for her to leave then ambushed the vehicle she was in. Now I am not sure why publicly they are saying "mistaken identity" when their dept is saying otherwise privately.

I really can't believe this..we need less negative and more postive thinking..to break it down "censoredship" try being adding more to the solution then to the problem, you are just as ignorant as these so called "thugs" are, maybe if you get out more and come instead of glued to your computer you could see the good in Y-town

and for any and all information when going to the One Stop located at the welfare office in the basement..whenever you go thru the welfare office to get to the One Stop (which help you get a job), there are more whites filling up the welfare area (in line) to get assistant then there are black...also in the lower Southside there are more young whites moving into the are and causing trouble, but we never hear about that, and working and dealing with addicates on a daily bases the majority are young whites from suburs...who's parents also turn a blind eye..So once again I'm a little confused who is the troublemakers? Race issue is outdated..Come on into 2010

You appear to be attempting to reason with such haplessly racist idiots. That's determined to make all crimes and social shortcomings racially fueled inferences.

Be it known that where your effort is noble. Those you're trying to reach are totally worthless to themselves. To include irrelevant to sensible accord, immune to bearing any intellect.

Which renders them useless to being of any assistance in society, the world or exchanging the goodness from within mankind.

Their objective is one of hoping to compel others to hate by race and selectively manipulate by gender. They're sick like that and via not sharing their affliction.

The only thing I can think it's driven by is having been fed a false line of superiority. Which when reality settles in to explode that myth.

They feel they need to lash out alleging outlandish slant to project their stilted silliness. Then get angered when more sensible beings recognize how ridiculous they are as such an obscure individual.

As for the numbers of individuals seeking assistance from city, state, federal and independent assistance providers. It's my hope they receive it and there's to be no difference or deference directed regarding to their race.

What the racists want is a mass smattering of getting others aligned with faltering. To hurling and partaking in exchanging racial barbs and disparaging caricatures. Because they don't want a civil society.

Which only one of absolute worthlessness would revel in such, Because that confusion, chaos and diversion obscures the fact. That such an individual themselves being no good to anyone.

Therefore they need everyone else at racial gender, faith base or even sexuality fueled odds,.. and preferably distrustful and even fighting as to manipulate them all.

See they're rotten and worthless as it gets and they're angered most when they can't get a fight or fights fueled between others by their prompting started,.. they're just that useless, worthless and intolerable.

See to be the best you, I and any and everyone else can be. Is holding steadfast to absolutely refusing to falter to become in anyway like those racist, sexist and or convenience crafting prejudicial pig spitter's. That askew to spew what they'd love to be infectious brews to pander for partakers.

Those like the goon gallery of stupid Stanley, Senseless_Sh_t, redskirt, Wally_Slobshak and a sparse host of others like them. Absolutely hate when such sensibilities that subjugate them into nonsensical silliness are spoken or implored. As it usurps their absurdity of fanned flatulence burps into their own downwind of dunder directionally. .

They hate it because in contrast by character, content and and conviction. It leaves them no defense, levity nor any semblance of respect by contrast of recognition.

So learn to utilize them as jokes and develop such an artful ability. That even though they intentionally entered in terribly bad taste. You can add spice to life by making the process of ravaging them and their ridiculousness. So tastefully in tattering the troglodytes so deliciously.

That it becomes a viewers treat to have them warmed over or frigidly chilled in way of serving them up as worthless " whatnot's " and non appetizing " thingies " to toy with at the table { at will, random and by happenstance },.. LMAO !!!

It's an art that I implore all get into. Because it's mental exercise and character toning that gives the more primitive abstract workings. A more Avant Garde type of nuance. As opposed to repatriating their nonsense.
